title = "Underwater sound scattering and absorption by a coated infinite plate with a distributed inhomogeneity",

abstract = "This paper concerns itself with the scattering and absorption of underwater incident sound by a coated infinite plate with an attached distributed inhomogeneity. Its objective is to determine if the distributed inhomogeneity can provide additional local reflection, such that it only increases the signal-to-noise ratio for a hydrophone detector placed on the inhomogeneity without significantly decreasing the overall sound absorption of the coated plate. {\circledC} 2013 Acoustical Society of America.",
